Hi all the xda guru. Many people like me experienced a problem of HTC Diamond:
In standby mode, if a new SMS comes in. Diamond won't make any sound an vibration even THEY HAVE BEEN SET in the "Sounds & Configuration". I tried to disable the TouchFLO3D, and this problem won't happen again.
Is this a bug? Anyone is developing a fix to this problem?????
Thanks!!!
Yes I have the same problem. The phone won't ALWAYS...but SOMETIMES only vibrate when the screen is off. However, whenever I turn the screen on, it will vibrate and notify me. Just a minor glitch I suppose!
wait for the rom-upgrade. hope allthe problems will be solved..
ok. SMS wake up is disabled by default in registry. thats in HKLM\drivers\builtin\ril
as far as I am remeber. I will confirm soon. that needs to be enabled.
I see the reason for this though:
if you phone wakes up to SMS it shortens the battery life for you.
EDIT:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL :
DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. meaning NO wake up to SMS message
Change this value to "0", soft reset you phone and verify that value is correct.
I hope it helps.
P.S. please add this to Diamond Tweaks thread

Thanks man! Is there one for email..or?
it supposed to FLASH LIGHT for you for 5 minutes by default instead of waking up phone to that.. that should be logically enough to alert you. If it does not, I would also add to that:
Settings-->Sound and notifications-->Notifications -->Messaging: New e-mail message:
1. Play sound (choose one) or even repeat as well.
2. Display message on Screen
I hope it helps.

Use a program called resco registry editor
Can download it from here:
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/
Download the file...connect your phone to the pc and click on the downloaded file and it should install onto the phone.

I can confirm this. On new email the light flashes. But now, for me, suddenly it doesn't, anymore (it flashes AFTER I turn it on which makes not too much sense). Can anybody help? I think I checked everything and also I didn't change a setting. Somehow it does not react to new email until I switch it on. Of course I only use standby and not turn it off completely with long push on the button.
Regards,
Frank

Are there any fixes for this yet? Having to turn the phone on (out of sleep) to see if there are emails when it should alert you makes auto email retrieval kinda pointless.
Wake on e-mail!
Bump...
Wakeup on e-mail.
Is there a way to wake-up the Diamond when i get an email message?
So far I have to check manually if there is email. No wake-up, no sound.
I hope there is a way...

u need to install advanced confog tool from Schaps, there is an option to disable device sleep while on call.
CSD connection
The screen also turns itself off when I use a CSD connection for internet access on my device. I assume it's because the phone thinks I'm making a regular phone call, so it turns the display off.
I found that if I load up tomtom in the background, the screen stays on, but after a while, the screen starts to turn itself off for about a second every few seconds, so it has only worked as a temporary solution.
I will give the advanced config tool a try. ty
IDK know about advanced config, but kaiser tweak is a nifty little program to change a lot of settings
Advanced config is just about the same as KaiserTweak.
I think kaiser tweak has a few more options now. I had advanced config on a couple of roms i flashed and i think kaiser tweak is a little more encompassing as far and the number of features you can tweak.

I prefer having the screen on regardless where I am. All boxes are unchecked>oower, backlight,etc.
but the damn thing goes off after a few seconds when I make a phone call and the keypad can't be seen to press a number when prompted to do so. When I want the screen off, I use psshutXP (light off)
How can I get the advanced configuration tool?!
Thx!!

I found a registry tweak that resolved this issue. It works!!!!
HKLM/Drivers/Built-In/RIL>Enable Fast Dormant Display During Call....Change value from 1 to 0. Soft reset. The display will stay on during a call!
Now I have another issue that a search didn't help. When I'm on the internet and using the stylus to scroll down the page, the scrolling slows down to nearly a stop just a very short ways down the page!!
Can someone pls help me with this?

Here's a screenshot of the phone stay awake tweak.
Hi, not sure if anyone having similar problems or not.
Problem 1: I live in Sydney, I've set the time to GMT+10 Sydney, after a while, the phone automatically change the time setting to GMT+10 Vladivostok. Any idea how to fix this minor problem?
Problem 2: When I put my phone to stand-by mode (eg. after a while the phone's screen is off or phone automatically lock up), when some one send the sms to my phone, the phone does not play the warning sound for incoming message, until I turn on screen than the phone play the incoming sms sound.
Problem 3: Weather--- I've download the update for weather for the whole week. For example, on Monday night I've downloaded the weather, the screen showing the weather at night (for Monday), than On tuesday morning, the weather screen does not update to Tuesday's weather, it just stay for monday night's weather screen. Does Dimond automatic update the weather for each day base from the data which already downlaoded?
Thanks for you help!
ohh guys... how come no one can answer my problems??
1. happened to me also. i don't care if it is jerusalem+ or beirut+2. do you really care? for a possible solution see also post # 11.
2. somewhere in the forum there is a tweak (or a registry edit?) for this. i think there are ROMs with this bug solved.
3. you can choose to have the weather update manually or automatically.
weather/menu/settings/download weather automatically (thick for auto).
there not such thing like downloading the weather Monday for the whole week...the weather is changing (like when they said tomorrow-rain and you walk all next day feeling ridiculous with yr umbrella and the sun is shining ).
if it is important for you live it on manual and each time you sync with yr pc download the weather. is cheap and fast and daily.

If you ask me, it's a bit stupid that it changes the time zone constantly when you select to sync the time. By the looks of it, it always changes the time zone to the last item in that zone (Ulaanbaatar is the last item in +8).

Only way I have found to fix this is to go the Phone Settings area, Then Time Zones and turn off "Automatic change time zone and clock" . I had this same issue with my TyTnII and now my Diamond. My guess is the Telco Networks transmit the time as raw UTC along with an offset, but without a location stamp. Something like "it is currently 0230UTC and this location is GMT+10". It is then up to the WM6.x to go into its list of timezomes and I bet it just grabs the first in its list that is +10, so Vladivostok. Buggers up summertime offsets too.
Good news is if you leave this turned off the time will still get updated when you activsync by way of HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Clock\NetworkTimeSync.
Just that it wont automtically change when you move time zones for example.
I've set mine to off, I'll report back in a few days, sounds like it will be fine looking at previous post by Logger.

what I mean was you know when you hook up to the net and downloaded the update for the weather, the phone will update for the whole week's data. As soon as the update is done, the phone will show you the weather of the same day (the date you updated e.g. Monday), but the following day (Tuesday), the weather still showing Monday's weather and doesn't change the date Tuesday, but I know the weather for tueday was also downloaded (yeah I know the weather maybe is not up-to-date since was downloaded on Monday).

Advanced config solved it

yeah ive noticed this!!!! how did you solve? im on same rom and use S2U2
yeah, i'd like to know the option too. mine used to light up so i could see the summary of the message for a few seconds. now it doesn't. it could be the same option.
To disable/enable wakeup use this advanced config option: Messaging/Wake up on new SMS.
Diamond TF3D config also can change this.
You can use any registry editor;
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent

Can not get phone to NOT wake up when text comes in
I have tried a number of different things to try to STOP the screen from waking up on a new text message. I have tried everything except the older version 3.2.. of the advanced config utility. I have a Sprint version of the diamond. The Disablesmswakeupevent does not work on my system. It does not show up in the registry and when I create it, it still does nothing. This seems like such a silly thing to not have the option of adjusting in the oem configuration. The Pro has it, why not the non-pro version.
Many thanks for anyone that has a suggestion on how to get this screen to STAY OFF when a text comes in. Perhaps even a lock on incoming text that will be unlocked by the light sensor.

Hi,
New to this forum - hello everyone.
I'm sure you know what I'm talking about and I'm sure it's been tackled before on the Diamond forum - but search isn't helping me out here.
Basically i'm reffering to the issue where I get no SMS tone when the phone turns off the screen (powersaving/standby) - only the ring of light flashes.
Is there a know solution? I've already edited the registry (disablewakeon something??), and sms notifcation on screen! No luck!
Any help would be appreciated.

i think you want to say that there is no notification on screen when the ph is in standby mode,but when u wake up ur ph or recieve a call then it shows the sms notification.....if thats ur problem then try downloading tweak pack available in the forum.....in that tweak pack there is an option to show notification whenever u recieve a sms,no matter if the ph is in stndby mode
Tried setting a ringtone to a waveform file (for example WAV, WMA or MP3)?
My TD refuses to work with MIDI so I just replaced them with WMAs.

I've also tried the registry fix:

This didn't really do much apart from truning the screen on - still no sms tone if the phone was on standby on recieving the sms.
If there's a specific know fix for this issue your help would be appreciated as would a link to it!.
Cheers!
i have a similar prob, i get no vibration if device is set to "vibrate" by recieving new sms. if i check "vibrate" in settings - sounds - notifications then it vibrates properly in vibration mode, but then it vibrates also in normal sound mode.. rom is stock 2.03 rom

For those users interested to find a solution to disable the curtain, here is the package. Could be a dll or a registry key.
Found a solution
Found a solution with reg key.
Goto HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\Cover
There is a DWORD value ResumeInterval set to 5000 (5secs).
I changed it 300000 (5mins) and soft-reset.
Now the call starts with slider on, you only need to slide down once. Then it will wait for 5 mins of inactivity to come back up.
Probably higher values can be used, but 5mins should work for me.
As always, modify registry at your own risk...

I had zero issue with the standard one, it was functional and did exactly as one would expect. Topaz dialer hides all options instantly making it absolutely dangerous to try and activate loudspeaker whilst driving . The other issue is landscape view, if using any rotate screen app and having the device in landscape (ie. whilst using GPS apps etc) and receiving a call there is no dialer shown at all!
Surely I am not the only one to notice these problems?
thanks man it helped
